HT1926 I tried to download the latest version of iTunes but now seem to have lost everything and can not access my library at all. Instead i keep on receiving the message 'Application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. I cannot access

I tried to download the latest version of iTunes but failed half way through. It suggested that i reinstall we I tried. However, i now get this message which states "Application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix the problem"
I have tried this but with no success. I have therefore found that I cannot access my iTunes library at all now.
What should I do.

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

When I try to open Firefox I receive this message, "Application has failed to start because ssl3.dll was not found." HELP!

I've been using Firefox for about 3 years. Today, I ran a scan of my computer Webroot Anti Virus and deleted all "risky stuff" they checked. Don't know if this is a coincidence but right after the scan I could not open Firefox. I receive the message, "Application has failed to start because ssl3.dll was not found. Reloading application may remedy this." I reloaded Firefox, the current version, clicked on open and received the same message. I've reloaded Firefox 3 more times with the same results. Now I need HELP.

See if you can make Webroot restore that file in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).<br />
If not then you need to reinstall Firefox and make sure that Webroot doesn't do that another time.
You can find the latest Firefox release here:
*Firefox 8.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html

TS3198 After doing the backup and restore how do you know if the phone is unlocked if you do not get the message: "Unlock Complete. Congratulations, your iPhone has been unlocked. To set up and sync this iPhone, click Continue."

If you don't get the message, your phone is NOT unlocked.

When I try to sync my iPhone I get the message: The iPhone cannot be synced. You do not have enough access priveleges for this operation.

The iPhone won't sync anymore. How can I fix this?

This works even for my ipod on my computer. I recently time machined myself and when i open intunes it always does all that backgroud magic and pops up saying "....You do not have enough access priveleges for this operation."
It turns out i don't need that, because i do not use sync. I do not sync. I don't use the sync. I abstain from getting my sync on...etc.
The first solution posted above works, i'll repeat it but credit goes to King_Penguin a true friend from the motherland! Just find this one file and delete it.

While you're correct in that Windows media won't sync to the iPhone (or any i-device), the OP states that all the music is in iTunes. If its in iTunes, it would no longer be in Windows media format since it would have been transcoded to whatever the user sets as their import preference (AAC, mp3, etc.), and once that is done then the media should be able to sync to the iPhone just fine.
To Steph, do the missing songs play OK in iTunes? If not then they could be corrupted in some way. If they play fine in iTunes but don't sync, are they unchecked in iTunes? They won't sync to your iPhone if it is set to ignore unchecked items. Finally, if these are iTunes purchases, are they protected format? (i.e. m4p files) If so, is your computer authorized to play them? (you'd know if you try to play them in iTunes, it would prompt you for the account password if not authorized)

How do I set up hotmail in mail app to not mark every message it syncs to be new?

Hello,
Using Mail App Version 5.2 on OSX Lion.
How do I set up hotmail in mail app to not mark every message it syncs to be new? (as in if if I check my mail on the browser and I have a new message.. and I read it.. but then open my mail app it syncs that email but says its new and unread)Here are my setting... what do I change?

but how come it does on my iphone?
What do you mean it does on your iPhone?
If you download a new email to your computer and read that mail and then download it to the iPhone it sees it as already read? Then maybe the iPhone is using the Hotmail IMAP system? Not sure.

Syncing ipad. message finishing sync. will not finish.

When I try to sync my Ipad2 with Itunes all photos and music seem to be imported. Then the message "finishing sync" comes up. Even after 12 hours it does not finish.

Same issue here. Latest iOS 7.03 + latest OSX Mavericks 10.9 + latest iTunes 11.1.2 + iPhone 5s & iPad 3. Syncing seems finished, but the message "finishing sync" & a moving status bar just don't go off.

Since I upgraded to iOS 7.1.2, new Outlook calendar and contact items will not sync to/from my iOS devices - I am not using the iCloud, just sync'ing direct to/from laptop. Does anyone have a solution?
